>>Easy answer:Quality of Service.
well, the first thing you need before quality of service is
e-quality of service (TM)
i.e. you need a definition of fairness (max min, or proportional)
then you need _quantity of service_
then you can apply the work below to map from subjective requirements
to objective ones, and still deal with the financial aspects in a
transparent manner...(as well as doing some fancy marketing)
there was aVERY good tutorial on this at SIGCOMM this year...
